STEPS - the PhD setup document

To enable a student to finish a PhD - and certainly finish in the minimum time - requires a sharp, precise and considered beginning to the programme.  As part of her STEPS Professional Development Programme for PhD supervisors, Tara introduces the 'Setup document,' the foundation for her first meeting and, indeed, the first year of a candidature.
